Curated by onetime NME staffer and Lush/Felt etc bassist Philip King, All The Young Droids is a revelatory compilation exploring the eccentric fringes of early synth-driven pop. It highlights the DIY spirit that emerged after the punk explosion as affordable synthesisers empowered bedroom auteurs and skint dreamers to chase chart glory. These 24 rare tracks range from proto-techno misfires to overlooked gems and capture a time when electronic music felt both alien and full of promise. Short lived Manunian project (and Frank Zappa favourites) Gerry & The Holograms' bizarrely catchy 'Gerry & The Holograms', said by some to be the basis of New Order's 'Blue Monday', is worth the price of purchase alone. Extensive liner notes and unseen images add extra context while remastering by Simon Murphy elevates an album that celebrates brilliant failures, playful experiments and futuristic pop visions born from unhindered imagination.
